ITALIAN SAUSAGE, SICILIAN STYLE

To stuff the casings, you will need a meat grinder with a sausage horn attachment. If you don't have such a device, use the mixture to make fried patties by shaping 1/4 cup of filling into a 1/2 inch thick patty and frying in hot oil until golden brown on both sides.

Ingredients

2 lbs lean pork butt, coarse ground
1/4 lb pork fat, coarse ground
1 tablespoon fennel seed, Coarsely Ground
2 bay leaves, crushed
1 1/2 tablespoons dried parsley
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 tablespoons dry white wine

Steps:

To prepare casings: Let casings soak in cool water about five minutes to remove salt on outer surface (no longer, or they will become too tender to stuff) and flush salt from the inside by placing one end on faucet nozzle and turn on cold tap water (if you see holes or water leaking, cut and discard).
Remove casing from faucet and gently squeeze out water; cover rinsed casings and refrigerate until ready to use.
Mix all the ingredients and let stand for 1 hour.
Mix again and then stuff into casings.

HOMEMADE SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE (MILD OR HOT)

Homemade Sweet Italian Sausage (Mild or Hot) image

This is a very versatile Italian sausage which can be used in many different ways. You can take it from mild to hot and it's very easy to use. There are also different options for type of meat to use, like ground chuck or ground turkey (do not use ground beef). If using ground turkey, you'll have to coat your skillet with a little olive or veggie oil before cooking as it has very little fat and will stick to skillet.
